THE J35A2...

J32 engine has a decent amount of torque on low throttle that your eclipse might not have before, i mean it's two different cars... now, it might be also different if your CL aren't FI and tuned, but like I said it flows pretty well on my part before...

UPDATE: so on my way back from school, i decided that 150 miles into the new clutch, i should rip on it a little to feel it...each shift, the clutch immediatley grabs on, leaving no room for error. I noticed that in between shifts, the RPM's were not dropping as much which is great! Still got some more research to be conducted through out the next couple of days.....

Rule of thumb 500 miles but its your clutch. I would have waited a tad longer to start banging it around.

Yes.
I wouldn't recommend doing the light flywheel and the lightweight pulley since they both are doing the same job in essence. It doesn't matter whether it's underdrive or stock diameter; either way the aluminum pulley is light weight.
Yes I would recommend a break in of 500-750 miles. That means no hard launches, no quick revs, no chirping gears; it should be a lot of city driving so you can engage and disengage the clutch at different speeds.

My question really is
Is it harmful in any way? I don't see what could be wrong with having a stock sized lightweight pulley and a lightened flywheel. Plenty of cars have had such a set up.. (pulley kit + clutch/flywheel)
Is it just about low end torque? I know throttle response would be insane!

as far as Spec clutch kits...i had that happen to me...when i got it, it looked like a painted stock PP, which it was...i called up and spoke to them....they said bcs of the self adjusting...they just supposedly re-enforced the PP to add clamping force....i didnt notice a stiffer pedal...however, my dash chatters when i pop the clutch...i mean just popping it breaks the tires without any accel whatsoever...... sometimes its hard to feel it through the pedal, on a hydralic clutch, when the stiffness of PP isn't by a lot over stock.
but the ceramic unsprung disk makes a tremendous difference.... i have no slippage.... i mean i could make any clutch slip...but abusing it properly...it holds well enough so far

I bought a stage two clutch a couple months ago, now I need a light flywheel. Does anyone just sell a light flywheel and not a kit or just a clutch. Thanks

Been running the CM StageIII for about 5 months now. I have 0 complaints so far. I haven't been running it hard, so I can't elaborate much on that, but so far its the perfect clutch. Harsh enough, yet not too harsh for our weak tranny. With the deletion of the SCV, you get a great shifting experience.
As far as running it hard, Sean has tested that aspect and he speaks good things about it.
Many thanks to Sean (04Accordcpe) for his suggestions...
and also XLR8 for the decent price and fairly quick shipping (wasn't under time pressure)
And btw Josh....I haven't received an e-mail with the invoice lol
